Adjustment period
*phew*
I can't believe I'm finally starting to find my ground with NLC... it's been a long and gruelling process, but I think I've finally managed to strike a balance.
Uni... NLC... Network Magazine.... I've managed to do a pretty good job of ignoring my friends for the past month. But now I think I need to concentrate on reconstructing some bridges. Thyvane's been great. He understands the workload I'm going through, and he's been driving me from uni to town... Especially today. I had a meeting with the International Education Week Board in the morning, after which Thyvane drove me to uni... then after one hour, he drove me back into town for my meeting with DIMIA reference group meeting. Wow. That's great. It was just me and Chai at the meeting along with all the official government people, and I really feel that perhaps he's beginning to recognise that I'm really trying my best to do my job and step in as the new branch convenor, so definite shouts out to Chai!
I also managed to arrange a dinner date with Maggie and Daryl for next week Friday (with possible drinking 'repurcussions')... and a lunch session with Georg tomorrow, so that's great, too! Getting life back on its tracks... now when the hell am I going to have time to do my philosophy expository and drama storyboard, essay, and seminar starter presentation over the weekend?!
And for Sydney... boy do I have an interesting agenda. The first guy I ever French kissed, Ned, is moving to Sydney for a few months, starting from the 18th of September... so I'm really looking forward to seeing him after SEVEN years of seperation!! Wow! It's so amazing that all this social stuff is falling into place now. It's like it was all just waiting for me to get my life sorted out and balanced.
And... my thing... hmmmm... I think he left a really touching little message for me on my blog. My eyes started watering (although, in truth, that had to do with the fact that I was getting cigarette smoke in my eyes, although it's always nice to dramatise).
And... meh... it's not like everyone doesn't know what's going on anyhow, dammit. I think we should really lay our cards on the table and talk about where this is heading.
It's been a long day and I need some sleep... I've been up for well over 20 hours now, and running on less than four hours of sleep and very little nutrition and too much wine.
